financial resources) is minimized,
collection instruments are clearly
understood, and the impact of collection
requirements on respondents can be
properly assessed. Currently, the
Employment Standards Administration
is soliciting comments concerning its
proposal to extend OMB approval of the
information collection: Rehabilitation
rwilkins on PROD1PC63 with NOTICES
Action Report (OWCP–44). A copy of
the information collection request can

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
The Office of Workers’ Compensation
Programs (OWCP) administers the
Federal Employees’ Compensation Act
(FECA) and the Longshore and Harbor
Workers’ Compensation Act (LHWCA).
These acts provide vocational
rehabilitation services to eligible
workers with disabilities. Section
8104(a) of the FECA and § 939(c) of the
LHWCA provide that eligible injured
workers are to be furnished vocational
rehabilitation services, and § 8111(b) of
the FECA and § 908(g) of the LHWCA
provide that persons undergoing such
vocational rehabilitation receive
maintenance allowances as additional
compensation. Form OWCP–44 is used
to collect information necessary to
decide if maintenance allowances
should continue to be paid. Form
OWCP–44 is submitted to OWCP by
contractors hired to provide vocational
rehabilitation services. Form OWCP–44
gives prompt notification of key events
that may require OWCP action in the
vocational rehabilitation process. This
information collection is currently
approved for use through September 30,
2008.
II. Review Focus
The Department of Labor is
particularly interested in comments
which:
• Evaluate whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the
functions of the agency, including
whether the information will have
practical utility;
• evaluate the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
• enhance the quality, utility and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and
• minimize the burden of the
collection of information on those who
are to respond, including through the
use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other
PO 00000 Frm 00086 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703
technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology,
e.g., permitting electronic submissions
of responses.
III. Current Actions
The Department of Labor seeks the
approval for the extension of this
currently approved information
collection in order to ascertain the
status of a rehabilitation case and to
expedite adjudicatory claims action
based on events arising from a
rehabilitation effort.
